I need to loop through a folder of docs and at least tell if there are revision comments inside the Word files.  So far, the results of scanning for both types of M'soft formats doesn't include a Comments entry, although I know there are some in the test Word files. Is there a way to see if there are comments, or is that not considered metadata?   

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi David,

There is a lot of information in the word document data that ExifTool is not decoding.  If it doesn't extract what you want, it could be that it is in the document itself.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
